Proton torpedoes, we have found, are a really difficult upgrade to fit into most squad lay outs. When we have used them, we find it is better to use them against a ship that you have already gotten target lock on, while you have focus, AND it has already been stripped of its Evade token.
Also note that you cannot use a torp unless you have a target lock. 3 torps gives the Rebels a very nice advantage.
That's his point. You get target lock from a previous turn so that you can focus this turn, and the target has already burned its Evade. That certainly is the best situation. :)
(For clarity, you don't get the firing bonus from the Target Lock, it's burned to fire the Protons.)
